Ukumemezela ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi inkathi yezimboni iphele kuqinisekisiwe ukuvusa ukuphikiswa okungapheli okuvela kuma-conservatives asekela ukuthuthukiswa kwezimboni.
Nokho, ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukushaya i-alamu futhi umemeze mayelana nenhlekelele ezayo, ake ngicacise. Angiphakamisi ukuqeda isikhathi sezimboni nokuthuthukiswa komnotho, ngiphakamisa ukudlulela enkathini yokusimama ngokuchaza kabusha umbono wempumelelo.
Eminyakeni engu-263 edlule, “impumelelo” ibichazwa njengokukhula komnotho okungakunaki okwangaphandle ukuze kwandiswe inzuzo. Izinto zangaphandle ngokuvamile zichazwa njengomphumela ongaseceleni noma umphumela womsebenzi wezimboni noma wezohwebo othinta ezinye izinhlangano ngaphandle kokukwazi ukunakwa.
Ukunganakwa kwezinto zangaphandle phakathi nenkathi yezimboni kubonakala ngokucacile endaweni enkulu yezolimo nezimboni zaseHawaii. Ngaphambi kokubusa kweHawaii ngo-1959, abalimi abaningi abakhulu beza lapho, bekhangwa amanani aphansi omhlaba, abasebenzi abashibhile, nokuntuleka kwemithetho yezempilo nemvelo eyayizobeka izinto zangaphandle ezizonciphisa ukukhiqiza futhi zinciphise inzuzo.
Uma uthi nhlá nje, ukuthunyelwa kwezimboni kokuqala kukamoba nama-molasses ngo-1836, ukuqala kokukhiqizwa kwerayisi ngo-1858, ukusungulwa kwendawo yokuqala yokutshala uphayinaphu yi-Dole Corporation ngo-1901 kwaletha izinzuzo kubantu baseHawaii, njengoba zonke lezi zinyathelo zadala amathuba emisebenzi. , kwakhuthaza ukukhula futhi kwanikeza ithuba lokuqongelela ingcebo. , okwakubhekwa njengenkomba yesiko “eliphucuzekile” emazweni amaningi anezimboni omhlaba.
Kodwa-ke, iqiniso elifihliwe, elimnyama lenkathi yezimboni lembula ukungazi ngamabomu izenzo ezaba nomphumela omubi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, njengokusetshenziswa kwamakhemikhali ekutshaleni izitshalo, okwaba nomthelela omubi empilweni yomuntu, ukuwohloka kwenhlabathi kanye namanzi. ukungcola.
Ngeshwa, manje, eminyakeni engu-80 ngemva kwamasimu kashukela ngo-1933, ezinye zezindawo ezivunde kakhulu zaseHawaii zinemichilo eminingi yokubulala ukhula i-arsenic, eyasetshenziswa ukulawula ukukhula kwezitshalo kusukela ngo-1913 kuya cishe ngo-1950.
Kule minyaka engu-20 edlule, ukuthuthukiswa kwezinto eziphilayo eziguqulwe izakhi zofuzo (GMOs) kwezolimo kuye kwaholela enanini elikhulu lezinto zangaphandle ezithinta kabi impilo yabantu, abalimi bendawo kanye nemvelo. Ukuphishekela amalungelo empahla yobuhlakani bobuchwepheshe be-GMO kanye nembewu yimboni enkulu kunciphise amathuba omnotho kubalimi abancane. Okwenza inkinga ibe nzima ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kakhulu kwamakhemikhali ayingozi kuye kwalimaza imvelo futhi kusongela ukukhawulela ukuhlukahluka kwemithombo yokudla ezitshalweni eziningi.
Emhlabeni jikelele, isistimu yamandla kaphethiloli wezinto ezimbiwa phansi eyabhebhethekisa inkathi yezimboni inomphumela ongemuhle obalulekile wangaphandle, njengokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ne-methane emkhathini. Lapho la magesi abamba ukushisa akhishwa ndawana thize, asakazeka yonke indawo futhi acasule ibhalansi yamandla emvelo oMhlaba, nawo athinta zonke izinto eziphilayo eMhlabeni.
Njengoba ngabhala esihlokweni sami sangaphambilini, I-Reality of Climate Change 1896-2013: I-Mauka-Makai, izinto zangaphandle ezibangelwa ukushiswa kwe-fossil zinethuba elingamaphesenti angu-95 lokubangela ukushisa komhlaba, okubangela izimo zezulu ezimbi kakhulu, ukubulala izigidi zabantu, kanye nezindleko. umnotho womhlaba ngezigidigidi zamaRandi minyaka yonke.
Kalula nje, kuze kube yilapho sisuka emikhubeni evamile yebhizinisi yenkathi yezimboni siye enkathini yokusimama, lapho isintu silwela ukuphila ngokuvumelana nokulinganisela kwamandla emvelo omhlaba, izizukulwane ezizayo ziyobhekana nokufa kancane kancane “kwempumelelo” efiphalayo. lokho kungaholela ekupheleni kokuphila emhlabeni. njengoba sisazi. Njengoba uLeonardo da Vinci esho, "Yonke into ixhumene nakho konke."
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba unqotshwe ukuphelelwa ithemba, duduzeka eqinisweni lokuthi inkinga ingaxazululeka, futhi ushintsho kancane kancane emcabangweni "wempumelelo" yekusasa elisimeme seluvele lwenzeka kancane kancane. Emhlabeni jikelele, amazwe athuthukile nasathuthuka atshala imali kumandla avuselelekayo kanye nezinhlelo zokulawula imfucuza evalekile.
Namuhla, amazwe angama-26 avimbele ama-GMO, atshale izigidigidi ezingama-244 zamarandi ekuthuthukisweni kwamandla avuselelekayo ngo-2012, kanti amazwe ayi-192 kwangu-196 asemukele i-Kyoto Protocol, isivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe esibhekene nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu se-anthropogenic.
Njengoba siqhubekela kushintsho lomhlaba wonke, singasiza ukuchaza kabusha "impumelelo" ngokubamba iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni komphakathi wendawo, ukusekela izinhlangano zokumela ukusimama kwezenhlalo, ezomnotho kanye nemvelo, nokusabalalisa igama ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ukusiza ukushayela inguquko ekuzinzeni emhlabeni jikelele. .
